“The new system will not only save officers valuable time currently spent on paperwork, but also equip them with better tools for investigation and collaboration with federal partners,” said NOPD Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick.

The new system will also allow officers to complete reports in the field, comply with the National Incident Based Reporting System and integrate with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
